Malt 379 Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 Might sound daft, but have you tried focusing it by twisting the reflector housing? Quote Link to post
johnnie deep dig 36 Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 Try pulling the bulb out of the two whole's the pins push into a little some times if you push the bulb right in it sits to far back from the lens and this cast's a shadow.

johnnie deep dig 36 Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 was you wearing gloves when you touched the bulb or anything like that did you grab the bulb with your jumper or coat because if you did you could of melted a thin film of material over the bulb. Quote Link to post

Tiny 7 1,694 Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 It could really only be 3 things, Likes been said sounds like the houseing need focusing in by twisting it, Or try moving the bulb afew mm in and out, And if that anit it id say its a fault bulb with to much glass nipple bit at the top of the bulb, Get a new bulb and see, Or if your mates have a lightforce try there bulb in your lamp to see if your still having the same problem....
